Abstract: Cracking is one of the most common distresses in asphalt pavement. Because asphalt concrete is relatively weak in tension, synthetic fibers have shown to increase its tensile strength and, therefore, reduce the chance of ...

Abstract: The objective of this study was to develop a simplified process and tool to assess the potential performance of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) mixtures in terms of rutting, fatigue, and thermal cracking, using only asphalt mix ...

Abstract: Permanent deformation is one of the major distresses in asphalt pavements. It is caused mainly by high traffic loads associated with high field temperatures. An anisotropic viscoplastic continuum damage model is developed ...

Abstract: Advances in computing capabilities, image processing, and sensing technologies have permitted the development of specialized vehicles equipped with the capability to assess pavement condition at normal operating speeds. ...

Abstract: The use of smartphones to collect roughness measurements or ride quality has become popular in recent years, owing to the potential for substantial cost savings in data collection. Hurdles to widespread adoption of these ...
